SHeriff Dept press release re:Altercation at Red Brick Saloon Results in Serious Injuries

(San Andreas, CA) On July 20, 2012 at approximately 11:30 PM Calaveras Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to the Red Brick Saloon, San Andreas, for a report of a physical altercation with injuries. Upon arrival the deputies contacted the victim, Scott Anderson (47) of San Andreas. Mr. Anderson was the victim of an alleged unprovoked attack from Suspect Caleb Terry (23) of Valley Springs. According to statements obtained at the scene, Mr. Anderson was standing on the sidewalk outside the saloon when Suspect Terry abruptly threw a rock at Mr. Anderson from a short distance away, striking him in the face. Mr. Anderson suffered serious injuries to the lower portion of his face. He was transported to Mark Twain St. Joseph’s Hospital where he obtained treatment for his injuries, and was later released.



The altercation may have started over Suspect Terry being confronted about stealing a cell phone, but it is unclear what, if any, involvement Mr. Anderson had in this aspect of the incident. After throwing the rock at Mr. Anderson Suspect Terry immediately fled the scene in a passing vehicle with other subjects. The vehicle transporting Suspect Terry was stopped a short distance from the saloon by law enforcement. Suspect Terry was taken into custody and transported to the Calaveras County jail. Another male passenger in the vehicle, Thomas Power (23) of Valley Springs, was also arrested on an active felony arrest warrant ($25,000 bail) out of the state of Missouri.

Suspect Terry was booked into jail on the charges of Penal Codes 245 (A) (1): Assault with a Deadly Weapon not a Firearm, 243 (D): Battery with Serious Bodily Injury, and 647 (f): Disorderly Conduct-Public Intoxication.
